Michael Phelps Urges Fans to Donate to His Foundation’s Life-Saving Program in Exchange for a Special MPF Gift

Michael Phelps has been working closely with the Michael Phelps Foundation to achieve its goals. They aim to help young swimmers achieve their dreams and promote water safety. They also encourage a healthy way of living, focusing on mental and physical health.

Phelps is one of the greatest swimmers known to date. Along with the 28 medals, he still holds 4 Olympic world records. 

Michael Phelps’ most recent appeal

Michael Phelps Foundation is a Non-governmental organization. NGOs often depend on donations and funding to carry on their programs. And just like any other NGO, so does MPF. Initially, The Flying Fish invested his bonus to set up the foundation. However, it takes more than financial assistance from one person to run such an organization.

Recently, The Baltimore Bullet took to his Instagram to promote the cause. He urged his fans to donate to the foundation’s life-saving program. To pique their interest, the announcement had an offer for them too. The people who donate $5 or more will be eligible for a lucky draw. The prize of the lucky draw would be MPF merchandise with a signed copy of Phelps’ photograph.

The original announcement was posted on the official Instagram handle of the Michael Phelps Foundation. The caption read, “It’s #GivingTuesday, and we hope you consider donating to the Michael Phelps Foundation. We need the support of donors like you to help share our life-saving programming. And if you donate $5 or more, you will be entered into a drawing for an MPF gift basket. https://michaelphelpsfoundation.org/donate/.”

Michael Phelps Foundation

The Michael Phelps Foundation was established in 2008. It is primarily governed by Phelps and his wife, Nicole Johnson Phelps. Phelps received a bonus from the sports apparel brand Speedo in 2008. He earned that after his exemplary performance in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The amount was $1 million. He used that amount to set up the foundation.

MPF works to help young boys and girls pursue their dreams. They provide support to the Boys & Girls club across America by catering to their financial needs, pieces of training, and supplies. They also provide staff, equipment, and access to well-maintained pools. MPF advocates water safety through vigilance and adult supervision.
